Solution

To resolve the problem:
1. Verify that the number of member devices does not exceed 9.
If you are adding a new member device to an existing IRF fabric or merging IRF fabrics, use the
display irf command to identify the number of member devices in the IRF fabrics. If the total number
of member devices exceeds the upper limit, the IRF setup will fail.
